honestly, if a zombie attack wold be imminent, a bacteria that eats at dead flesh would be amazing to produce in high amounts spray one zombie in it, and the bacteria will spread zombie to zombie, it’s best to fightthem with their own weapon.
honestly, a shortbarreled .22 would be a great mid range weapon. can carry hundreds of rounds for it, and can get clips that hold 50+rounds for certain guns. Thick leather with a police riot shield, and a neck guard would be optimal.a a club with a few 4" nails in it to penetrate the brain.
Would electricity pacify zombies? if so a tazer baton sort of deal would dispatch zombies with a tap, with no mess.
If you ate an infected animal, that looked uninfected, would you get infected?
In the event of a defencive position, where zombies are already massed, and loud noise won’t matter, any caliber rifle meant for deer or bear would be great with an adjustable 1.5-10x scope.
I shot with this shotgun that had a batery powered red dot scope, and shot slugs. It was fucking amazing. I even got to shoot at old bowling pins rotfl. In the time before this happens, people need to invent “shredder” rounds like the ones from halo. Once you find a defencible position, a bike petal electric generator would be a perfect find for recharging weapons, and making life easier.
transportation, electric bike, with an attachment so it can hook up to a small wooden trailer.
Food and water is important. colapsable fishing rod, and hooks galore would be esential. with a piece of twine, a knife and some knowledge you could make a bow capable of killing small game, without wasting zombie slaying ammo.
